Quirky Chloë Sevigny has done some cool work with Opening Ceremony in the past, and she continues to do so with her Fall 2009 line. Fun proportions, oddball clashing prints, and hipper-than-thou cuts make this collection stand out amongst the sea of designer collabs. It's also a kind of "girls-can-be-boys-can-be-girls" collection - Sevigny purposely created a unisex line making it easy for all to share. With the neverending "boyfriend" trend (jeans, jackets, sweaters). this is more than timely.
Sevigny takes style tidbits from a variety of places and people, or as she puts it, "from skinheads to Connecticut kids to St. Mark's Place". As a result, the overall look is mismatched, vintagey, and a bit disheveled. A sort of "look what I found from my grandpa/grandma's leather trunk in the attic" feel that's not too try-hard.
There's also wonderful shoes in this collection - I absolutely love the wedge strapped buckle boots. Classic pointy oxfords and saddle shoes round out the old-school, preppy look.
